  • Adaptations are the result of natural selection acting on variations within a population over many generations.

    True
  • What is an example of a behavioral adaptation?
    Birds migrating in winter
  • What is a structural adaptation in cacti that helps them survive in dry environments?
    Thick, waxy stems
  • Steps of how adaptations arise through natural selection:
    1️⃣ Variations occur within a population
    2️⃣ Natural selection favors beneficial traits
    3️⃣ Organisms with these traits survive and reproduce
    4️⃣ Over generations, the beneficial traits become common
  • Match the type of adaptation with its example:
    Structural ↔️ Polar bear's thick fur
    Behavioral ↔️ Birds migrating in winter
    Functional ↔️ Camels storing water
  • The ability of some plants to store water in their roots is a physiological adaptation
  • What is a physiological adaptation in snakes that helps them capture prey?
    Using venom
  • Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that help it survive
  • What is an example of a physiological adaptation in camels?
    Storing water
  • Natural selection allows organisms to better cope with environmental challenges by favoring beneficial adaptations.
    True
  • Cacti have thick, waxy stems as a structural adaptation to reduce water loss
  • What is an example of a behavioral adaptation in camels?
    Camouflage
  • Adaptations in animals enable them to survive and reproduce in specific habitats due to natural selection.
    True
  • Natural selection acts on variations within a population to create adaptations over generations.

    True
  • What is an example of a behavioral adaptation in birds?
    Migration
  • What are adaptations in biology defined as?
    Biological features for survival
  • A structural adaptation example is a polar bear's thick fur
  • Match the type of adaptation with its example:
    Structural Adaptation ↔️ Polar bear's thick fur
    Behavioral Adaptation ↔️ Birds migrating in winter
    Physiological Adaptation ↔️ Camels storing water
  • Birds migrating to warmer climates in winter is an example of a behavioral adaptation
  • Natural selection acts on variations within a population over many generations to produce adaptations.

    True
  • What is a structural adaptation in desert plants to reduce water loss?
    Small or absent leaves
  • Birds' beaks adapted for different food sources are examples of structural adaptations.

    True
  • What are biological features that help an organism survive and reproduce in its environment called?
    Adaptations
  • Behavioral adaptations involve actions taken by an organism to survive, such as birds migrating to warmer climates.

    True
  • Adaptations are the result of natural selection acting on variations within a population
  • What are three types of adaptations found in plants?
    Structural, behavioral, physiological
  • Categorize the following animal adaptations by type:
    1️⃣ Polar bear's thick fur: Structural
    2️⃣ Birds migrating to warmer climates: Behavioral
    3️⃣ Camels storing water: Physiological
    4️⃣ Snakes using venom: Physiological
  • Birds' beaks are structurally adapted for different food sources
  • What is the primary role of adaptations in an organism's survival?
    To survive and reproduce
  • A polar bear's thick fur is a structural adaptation for insulation in cold climates
  • Camels store water in their bodies as a physiological adaptation for water conservation
